The rare book collection contributes to the educational program of the college by introducing students to unique primary source materials in the context of their academic course work and through regularly scheduled public exhibitions.
Spring 2025 Exhibit
The A.M. Todd Rare Book Room proudly announces the opening of its Spring exhibit, “Remnants from Past Readers,” running from March 31st to June 6th, 2025, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:00-4:30 p.m. and other times by appointment.
Readers throughout time have left their own impression in their books. Come view a collection of books featuring evidence of previous readers, from marginalia and manicula drawings to pressed flowers and rebound books. You can even try your hand at cracking the handwritten codes in our mid-1500s alchemical text.
